Where to buy the best seeds???
Anyone know of any online sites from anywhere in the world that sell high quality seeds and have a really good reputation as being one of the best in the world?
Price isnt really an issue...I guess What I'm looking for is seeds for fruits and vegetables like Oranges, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, etc. that sort of thing I'm not a gardener myself, I want to buy them for my parents Yea so I'm looking for a place that offers some of the best seeds in the world, can anyone recommend? |

I'm not a gardener myself, I want to buy them for my parents Talk to them about what they want and can grow in their garden, no point in getting stuff that is not suitable, there are many reasons why it might not be.

The "best" is not important in comparison to what is suitable, available and legally transportable. David |

The "best" is not important in comparison to what is suitable, available and legally transportable. David David is correct. First thing is to find out if your parents want a garden. Are you planning to start it and keep it up? You don't just stick seeds in the ground and to pick fruits and vegetables. There is lots of upkeep needed. Are they willing and able to do the work? How much space is available for a garden? Next go to a reputable nursery in your area and see what is available. Local nurseries do not usually stock things that do not grow well in their area. When to plant and how long until maturity is also necessary information. Where I live there is no way I can have greens and tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers fresh at the same time. From the list of what grows you can make a decision about what to plant and how many. Do you want just enough to eat in season or do you want enough to preserve? Make sure you check each plant to see how much room it needs. Compare this information with the space available for the garden. -- Susan N. "Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral, 48 percent indignation, and 50 percent envy." Vittorio De Sica, Italian movie director (1901-1974) |
Hi
whilst it is probably true about buying locally. If this isnt an option for what ever reason, I have had very good experiences with http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/ almost all my chilli, tomato and other veg seeds have germinated and are doing well. |

The size of your plant will depend on the size of its' root system. Smaller pots = smaller plants. Hello Mike, I have been growing all my veggies in containers for a while now. For the last few years I have had 24 pepper plants in six plastic "window planters" that are 6" wide by about 3'long and 5 or 6" deep, 4 plants to the container. I grow jalapeρo, cayenne, Ital hots, and habbies. I don't know about the size of the plants, but I am very happy with their production. Keep them watered and well fed, I think you may be surprised. Good luck! Tim |

Some interesting advice on this thread. if its true that capsaicin helps reduce heart disease and strokes, I am laughing as i eat a LOT of hot food ;) the sweet peppers usually i would use in salads, sandwiches, chinese food and sometimes (rarely) stuffed and roasted in the oven. the hotter chilis i use in sandwiches, pickles/chutney, most of my cooking ....... and games of chance or arcade games on my arcade machine where penalties for losing include vodka shots, chilis etc yes i am a child at heart!. |

Like the damn thing quits beating every now and then...You think a hot pepper kicks, ya oughta feel my defibrillator! Oh shit......bet that is a hell of a way to be awakened! When it gives you a jolt, does it make you react like somebody goosed ya or blurt out a Tourrette's type of thing? ;-) Charlie It's really never happened when I'm asleep. To be honest with you, imagine standing with your eyes closed, knowing that someone has a sledge-hammer in front of you....You don't know when the hit is coming, but..................Thats about what it feels like..... Hey, I can still drink some wine, and grow some peppers! It don't get no better! Tim |

Get help is my best suggestion. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8000763.stm Right-wing groups 'growing' in US By Jon Donnison BBC News, Washington America could be facing a surge in right-wing extremism, according to a new US government report. Richard Poplawski, a member of a racist group, killed three police officers The Department of Homeland Security study says the election of America's first black president and the economic slump has helped racist groups recruit. But the report says no specific attacks are being planned by extremists. Some moderate conservatives fear the administration could use the report as an excuse to tighten gun laws and restrict freedom of speech. Pronounced threat The report says that high unemployment figures and home foreclosures have created a climate similar to the early 1990s when white supremacists saw a growth period. That resurgence was stifled in 1995 after an FBI crackdown on extreme right groups following the Oklahoma City bombings which were carried out by white supremacist Timothy McVeigh. Some extreme right websites reported a surge in membership immediately after Barack Obama's election. The Homeland Security study says the threat posed by what it calls "lone wolves" and "small terrorist cells" is more pronounced that in previous years. It cites an example two weeks ago when three police officers were shot dead in Pittsburgh by Richard Poplawski, who had been a member of a white supremacist group. Some more moderate conservatives have criticised the Homeland Security study. They believe the White House could use it to justify tougher gun laws and restrictions on conservatives' freedom of speech. The issue is being keenly debated on right-wing blogs and talk shows. Radio talk show host Michael Savage, who runs the website Savage Nation, is asking his readers whether Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano should step down for "targeting loyal, patriotic Americans as possible terrorists".

Corn tortillas are healthier for you. I think you're looking for a rubefacient. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubefacient A rubefacient is a substance for external application that produces redness of the skin e.g. by causing dilation of the capillaries and an increase in blood circulation. They are believed to relieve pain by a counterirritant effect, and many act via transient receptor potential ion channels. Common medicinal rubefacients include [1]: Capsaicin (derived from Cayenne, Capsicum minimum) Salicylates (such as Oil of Wintergreen, Methyl Salicylate) Nicotinate esters Rubbing alcohol Common herbal rubefacients include: Cloves (Eugenia caryphyllus) Garlic (Allium sativum) Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Horseradish (Cochlearia armoracia) Mustard (Brassica alba or B. nigra) Nettle (Urtica dioica) Rosemary Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) Rue (Ruta graveolens) More on rubefacients athttp://www.pfaf.org/database/search_use.php?K%5B%5D=rubefacient Cayenne Cayenne pepper has beneficial antioxidant and cardiovascular effects. It has many beneficial effects on gastrointestinal function. Antioxidant activity: The carotene molecules of cayenne pepper and paprika exert powerful antioxidant effects. Cardiovascular effects: Cayenne pepper exerts a number of beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. It reduces the likelihood of developing, atherosclerosis by reducing blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It also reduces the platelet aggregation and increases fibrinolytic activity. Cultures consuming a large amount of cayenne pepper have a much lower rate of cardiovascular disease. Topical Effects: When topically applied to the skin or mucous membranes, capsaicin stimulates and then block small diameter pain fibers by depleting them of neurotransmitter called substance P. Substance P is believed to be the principal transmitter of pain impulses. It also has been shown to activate inflammatory mediators in joint tissues in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical Applications: Capsaicin lowers body temperature by stimulating the cooling center of the hypothalamus in the brain. It appears that people who live in tropics deals with high temperature by consuming cayenne pepper. Cayenne ointments may offer benefits in a number of conditions, including pain disorders (postamputation pain, postmastectomy pain, post herpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, cluster headaches, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Topically applied capsaicin may be useful in the treatment of psoriasis. Pain Relief: Capsaicin was found to relieve the pain associated with shingles (herpes zoster), a clinical condition known as post-herpetic neuralgia. Clinical trials have shown that about 50% of those taking capsaicin report improvement as opposed to 10% for the placebo group.* Topically applied capsaicin may be effective in reducing the pain of trigeminal neuralgia, a painful disorder of the main nerve of the face characterized by severe, stabbing pain affecting the cheek, lips, gums, or chin on one side of the face. In one study, more than 80% of those treated with capsaicin responded favorably. This is remarkable as there are no medication available for this condition except surgery. Capsaicin may help relieve the pain following breast reconstruction or mastectomy. Mouth pain due to chemotherapy or radiation: Capsaicin was found to reduce the pain of mouth sores resulting from chemotherapy or radiation treatment dramatically in a clinical trial. Diabetic Neuropathy: Diabetic neuropathy is a painful nerve disorder caused by long-term diabetes. Capsaicin has been found to be of considerable benefit in relieving pain of this condition. Cluster headaches: Cluster headaches are migraine-like headaches characterized by severe pain, usually localized around one eye. Double blind studies have shown that intranasal application of a special capsaicin ointment by a physician may relieve cluster headaches. Episodic patients were found to benefit more from the treatment than chronic patients. Arthritis: Capsaicin may be effective in relieving the pain of either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Psoriasis: Excessive substance P levels in the skin have been linked to psoriasis. Capsaicin was found to reduce scaling, redness and combined psoriasis severity. http://www.holisticonline.com/Herbal-Med/_Herbs/h43.htm Used externally, the fruit is a strong rubefacient stimulating the circulation, aiding the removal of waste products and increasing the flow of nutrients to the tissues[254].

Pasta has flour, eggs, water, preservatives and other crap in it...and thanks for the other info Hold on cowboy, you still got whole wheat pasta and brown rice. I made Spanish rice last night with brown rice : Meaty Spanish Rice Recipe By : Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 pound ground turkey 1 onion -- chopped 1 green bell pepper -- chopped 2 cups chicken stock 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 cu long-grain brown rice -- uncooked 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon thyme 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper -- optional black pepper -- to taste In a skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion and green pepper and cook until turkey is browned and vegetables are tender. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Very edible. It was a little damp after 30 min. so I threw in another 1/4 cup brown rice and waited another 30 min. I was going to serve it with chard but got lazy and just served salad. You also still have whole wheat bread. Look at the difference in white unbleached flour: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcom...st_nut_edit.pl compared to whole wheat flour: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcom...st_nut_edit.pl White flour, it's amazing. They strip out most of the nutrition, add back six or so vitamins and call it enriched! I haven't cut out all my white bread.
